BBC Arena
Schaffhausen, Switzerland
BBC Arena stands apart by virtue of its purpose. While the city of Schaffhausen has the outdoor FCS Arena for football, this building is a closed box designed for a different kind of action. The playing surface is wooden parquet, a standard for indoor handball and volleyball, rather than the grass or artificial turf found elsewhere.
Opened in December 2011, the facility replaced an older site, though the specific history of the location before construction is less relevant than the structure itself. The arena accommodates 3,500 spectators, a figure that has been cited variously as 3,600. The acronym 'BBC' does not refer to a broadcaster but to the Bau- und Betriebskommission, the body responsible for its construction and operation.
The most notable event held here was an EHF Champions League match between Kadetten Schaffhausen and Atlético Madrid in March 2012.
There is no official dedicated website for the arena, and events are listed on third-party platforms like Ticketmaster Switzerland.
